Getting Into College

Likes

The location of our campus is at hilly area which is in Ponda, Farmagudi. The view over here is excellent and talking about the campus its beautiful as it is surrounded by nature . The size of all the department is descent and very great place too.
The second thing i like is that is our library which is the second largest library in goa after goa University. So any one who needs latest books or wants to prepare for the exams and even for those who love reading stuffs .
The third thing i love is that is our annual college event known as TANDAV which is the most popular inter department event within our college. This event is famous in many colleges in Goa and people from different place come to watch or event.

Dislikes

The first thing i dislike is the syllabus, you are provided with the old regular portion . No latest technologies are thought. Its a like studying one day before exam and passing and no knowledge stuff that u need to survive in this era of ai
Second thing is practical knowledge. No one cares about your practicals here, you are just given the problem statement and u have start implementing it. We are never thought why is it important or how to improve it.
Guys if your taking addmission in GEC just forget about any vacation plan, as this college will ruine your plan. No semester break are there, if there are any than for 2 to 3 days.

Course Curriculum Overview:

There are many subjects which are really good to build your fundamentals as an engineer. bit there are many subjects which are just waste of time, even the students don't attend those lectures. But the core subjects like DSA , OS, OOPS, CN , OPERATING SYSTEMS are there in your curriculum and you are widely asked questions on these topics for the interview. This just for IT department

College Life in GEC

Likes

The college campus is really good. GEC has a different vibe all together.

Dislikes

Some basic facilities in hostels were not good. Also sometimes street lights did not use to work.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is slightly outdated but its the basics that are needed to be covered so I would not complain much about it. Curriculum could be slightly more industry-focused as many students lack the practical knowledge of whats needed in the industry.

My experience in GEC

Likes

The college campus and the way they have maintained it
All the events and the support from our principles
Campus placement opportunities for the students

Dislikes

College canteen was not good. There were worms in the food the was being served.
Some of the teaching staff is not at good in their profession

Placement Experience:

We have many campus placement opportunities in GEC. Various companies from Goa as well as outside Goa come for placement interviews. It varies from startups to multinational companies. Companies offer money in the range 3 lakhs per annum to 15 lakhs per annum. There are few companies that offer paid internship before placement. We also have 2 month internship period in our 7th sem. The companies, if they like the students work then they offer the job as well. As per now, more than 250 students have been placed this year out of 400 students, and still there are companies still yet to come.
